b. radio wave
c. microwave
d. sound wave

1. as the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength of a wave -

Explanation:

Matching Section (Wave Terms to Definitions)

1. Medium

The definition for "Medium" is the material through which a wave travels (solids, liquids, gases), which matches option F.

Answer:

1. F

1. Crest

The "Crest" is the highest part of a transverse wave, matching option J.
